Ballaghnabehy TopMountain / peak · 1.4 miBronaghMountain / peak · 2.0 miTobermurvyHoly well · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Tobermurvy in Derrynalester holds patterns in August, which means the local sheep probably have opinions on whether the water is too cold or not. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted; it might actually be true.

TobermurrySpring · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom As a holy well, Tobermurry might just wish you luck if you bow politely, so let's go see if the water is actually magical.

Saint Michael's Catholic ChurchGates/railings/walls · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Michael's Catholic Church gates in Barrs West are made of ashlar that looks like it’s trying very hard to be impressive without actually doing anything. If they could talk to their younger selves, they’d say 'chill out, you’re just a fence.' Stand still and listen for the stone sighing.

Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Corrahoash is standing on its high ground acting all superior. Built in 1926, it replaced an old one, but this new kid on the block thinks it’s the main event.

Corrard ForestForest · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Corrard Forest in County Cavan has a mysterious vibe; I suspect the shadows are playing hide and seek with the afternoon sunlight right now.

The Giants GraveArchaeological place · 4.3 miRepublican Garden of RemembranceMemorial · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom The Republican Garden of Remembrance is tucked away in County Cavan, a quiet spot to reflect on the nation's past struggles.

Lough MacNean WalkWalking route · 5.7 miIndicatedBastioned fort · 5.8 mi

Explorer Tom Manorhamilton’s bastioned fort claims its unlikely celebrity friend is a very serious statue of a general who never smiled. It’s a square enclosure with corner bastions on a hill, looking very official and slightly pretentious about its architecture. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
